Scars in Complex Patterns

Sew my eyes shut so I can’t see

An Illusion I just can’t comprehend

A thousand different images

That I’ll never erase from my memory

A thousand reasons why I’ll never trust again

I can feel it

Ripping, pulling, tearing

At every aching bone

An unspoken thought

I can feel it

Every broken promise tortures my soul

Lay me on a bed of nails and I’ll call it home

I engrave your betrayal

And peel back flesh

To expose these braided veins

That carry every ounce of sorrow

Tortured by every breath I take

Desperation creeping in

Light fades

Infected wounds never heal

They turn black and rot away

With anger and despair

Leaving scars in complex patterns

Of hatred in their place

It’s never enough to forget

It’s never enough to forget

It’s never enough to forget

It’s never enough to forget
